Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: motorcomm: enable the reference clock for YT8531
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 15:45:55 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719034555.3623003-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com> (raw)

The YT8531 needs a 25 MHz reference. On boards without a local crystal
it is fed from the SoC, described as a clock on the PHY node. Get and
enable it in probe so the PHY is clocked before its registers are
accessed. The clock is optional, so crystal-clocked boards are
unaffected.

This supersedes "[PATCH net-next v2] net: stmmac: dwmac-rk: ..." which
enabled the clock on the MAC side; Andrew and Maxime rightly pointed out
that the PHY is the consumer and should enable it. That series is dropped.

The DTS that consumes this (rk3576-armsom-cm5) goes to the rockchip tree
separately; the clock is optional so this patch stands alone. Tested on
an ArmSoM CM5-IO: the YT8531 links at 1000 Mbit/s.
